ACCESS - what people said :

I am grateful for the CLAPP-GSI approach because now the village government actually pays attention to us.  Before we never received any assistance from the government, even though I am poor.  In the past it was the rich people who benefited from village initiatives.  Now that I am actually included in these village meetings and if in the future things do not change, at least I can make the government answerable
